Lost, Found, Lovers

As the last guests finally left, a felling of relief fell over the castle. Belle let out a sigh as the last person left.

"Well I'm glad that's over. Aren't you Bella?" Belle turned around to see that Bella was not there. Belle turned to her husband, "Where's Bella?"

"I thought she was with you!"

"I thought she was with you!" now they both knew that Bella was gone.

Suddenly there was a loud banging on the door. Lumiere went to go and get it as soon as the door was fully open; Gaston came rushing in and up to Belle and the Master.

"Where is he?" Gaston said angrily to the Master

"Who?"

"Who? What do you mean who? MY SON!" both the Master and Belle had a slight look of shock their faces, Parker had been at the party after all. But Belle was a smart girl she knew what to do.

"You should know, your son came into my daughter's private party and kidnapped her! If any one should know where there child is it's you! You obviously told your son to kidnap Bella in an attempt to get the redemption you think you so rightfully deserve!"

"I would never do such a thing! Plus I never would have thought of an idea like that! I may be shifty but I am not evil, Belle!" the Master was just standing back watching this feud over where the children were, he had to stop it.

"LISTEN UP!" both Belle and Gaston stopped their feuding, it had been almost 17 years since any one in the castle had heard the Master use that voice, "if we're going to find our children then were going to have to work together. Understood?"

"Oh no I'm not working with Captain Clueless here!" Belle pointed to Gaston

"And there is no way in hell I'm going to work with Queen of the Wenches!" Gaston pointed to Belle.

"WENCH!?!" Belle went to take a swing at Gaston but the Master held her back, Belle was incredibly strong.

"Look, Belle you and I know our daughter very well. Bella wouldn't leave the castle with out one night in the gardens; it's too late to go any where. So we know that they're in the gardens," Belle looked at her husband.

"But the gardens are enormous! There is no way we'll be able to find them in time for sunrise, they will probably be gone by then," The Master nodded.

"That's where Gaston comes in," the master turned to Gaston, "you know a lot about tracking is that true Gaston?"

"I've been tracking my whole life!" Gaston said.

"Do you think you can track down Bella and your son before sunrise?"

"Probably, but why should I help you?"

"Because if we find Bella, chances are your son will be in the same spot, do we have an agreement?" Gaston thought for a while.

"Very well, but once my son is found keep your daughter away from him, and I'll keep him away from here and we can all just pretend this never happened."

"That shouldn't be a problem Gaston," Belle gave him a look that could make the bravest person in the world totally terrified.

(In the Gardens)

Bella and Parker stopped at the gazebo that was located near the back steps of the castle, "ok that's it I have to take these dumb ass shoes off! My feet are killing me!" Bella took off the gold high heels she was wearing.

"You wore high heels? Dear gods it's a sign of the apocalypse!" Bella and Parker both laughed, Bella suddenly turned her head to take a look back at the castle, "What's wrong?" Parker took her hand and looked at her

"Your father's here," she looked at him worried, "We need to get moving, now!"

"This is your home where should we go? My dad is the best tracker I've ever seen, we need to throw him off. But where do we go?"

"The rose garden under the west wing, they'll never think to look there."

"Why?"

"The west wing holds bad memories for my family; it hasn't been touched in over 16 years. Any ground near the west wing is unkempt, so they don't ever go there."

"Then how do you know about the rose garden?"

"I'm the one that takes after the rose plants on the grounds, that is my special place to go and think, plus my parents don't know about it," she gave him a warm smile. They ditched the masks and started to run towards the West Wing's rose garden. But not far behind was the search party.

(Back with the parents)

Belle ran over to the gazebo where she saw a pair of golden high heals, "These are Bella's…" she trailed off in to thought and kept the shoe close to her body.

"Well now that you just figured that out can I please start tracking?" Gaston gave her a smirk. Belle lunged at Gaston again trying to hit him. The Master held her back once more, "Geeze! Put a leash on you cat," he smirked again, Belle managed to kick him in the shin with the heal of her shoe, "OW! WHAT THE HELL!" Gaston grabbed his shin. He spied something shining on the ground and limped over to it and picked it up. It was a small old metal; he kept turning it over and over in his hand.

"What's that?" Belle asked pointing to the small dirty metal in Gaston's hand.

"Parker's good luck charm, I gave it to him when he was just a lad. He never goes any where without it…" Gaston trailed off and looked in the direction that he had seen the metal and started to walk that way.

"Where are you going?" the master asked Gaston, "You're supposed to be finding our children!"

"What's in that direction?" Gaston asked pointing to the open air in front of him.

"The West Wing, where you fell," Belle said crossing her arms. She remembered that night so clearly, so did Gaston.

"Isn't there a garden over there?" Gaston looked at Belle, he was on to something.

"How would you know?"

"Before I hit the ground I was able to see a few small rose plants, then I blacked out…"

"What ever is over there is forbidden, Bella would never go there," Gaston walked up to Belle.

"That's just what they want us to think, my son knows I can track very well, he wants to try and throw me off," Belle's eyes met with Gaston's. At that instant both of them knew exactly where their children were. The parents all took off in the direction of the rose garden.

Gaston got there first in the middle of the small area was an apple tree, and under the tree, fast asleep, were Parker and Bella. Gaston stopped dead in his tracks and just looked at the two kids. Belle and the Master were not far behind him. As Belle was the second to arrive at the Garden, then the Master. All three were stunned by what they saw.

Parker and Bella were under the tree fast asleep. Bella's Head was resting on Parker's chest, and Parker was leaned up against the tree. One of Parker's arms was around Bella's waist. Their hands were intertwined as they smiled in there sleep. One could only imagine what they had planned if they ever got out to freedom.

Belle started to move forward but Gaston stopped her. Belle looked at Gaston.

"What are you doing?" she said in a harsh whisper.

"Look at them, Belle. They're in love, we can't deny in any longer. Look how happy they are even in their sleep!" Belle looked at Gaston with curiosity.

"This is coming from the man who tried to forcibly marry me, kill my husband, and throw my father into an asylum. What's wrong with you? You trying to stop us from keeping our kids apart wasn't apart of the deal!"

"Belle! Listen to what you're saying! You may not have loved me; I know that is for certain. But I do know what love looks like, and that," Gaston turned Belle's head to look at the two kids, "that's it," Gaston stepped back so Belle wouldn't kick him in the shin again for touching her. Belle looked at the children. The Master stayed back, this feud was between Gaston and Belle, he was no part of it; he was just peace keeper so they wouldn't kill each other.

Belle didn't move she just looked at Parker and Bella, and how happy they were. Belle remembered when she fell in love with her husband; "Well, they do look happy together," her eyes never left the couple under the Apple tree.

"And if they're happy, then we should be happy for them, right?"

"You know Belle, for once Gaston is right," the Master had suddenly become apart of this conversation, "we shouldn't let our personal prejudices get in the way of our children's matters," Belle sighed.

"Well what do we do? She has duties as a princess, and your son is one of the best known kids in the town, letting them see each other would just distract them and throw every thing into a frenzy!" Every one looked at each other and then at the kids. The same plan was forming in every one's head.
